This can be a great source of frustration to parents, whose natural response to a child's illness is a desire to do everything possible to make that child well. Written by a natural-medicine practitioner, a traditionally licensed doctor, and a pediatric nurse, <I>Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child</I> presents an integrated approach to children's health care that allows a parent to do just that. This excellent reference applies a full spectrum of responses to common childhood health problems: conventional medical treatments, dietary guidelines, nutritional supplements, herbal treatments, homeopathy, and acupressure; for each ailment, general recommendations and preventive measures are also offered. The book's authors explain that their approach to health care "considers all treatment possibilities and draws on what works. Sometimes this will be an herb, sometimes an antibiotic, sometimes both." This well-researched, balanced, and clearly written reference belongs on every parent's bookshelf. <I>--Jane Steinberg</I> 162583 1994 Smart Medicine for a Healthier Child total:61|5:40|4:18|3:3|2:0|1:0| 61 281 74 23 5 0 false false Sat May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Fri Feb 13 15:41:24 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 16:13:02 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Thu Jun 11 21:58:37 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 10 22:52:34 -0700 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Jan 14 19:01:34 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 14 19:04:35 -0800 2009 more...]]> 5 0 false false Fri Nov 30 06:40:44 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 24 06:55:12 -0800 2008
Michelle introduced me to this book, and it has it's own special place on my countertop. The beauty of this book is that is covers all the major childhood illnesses (colds to chickenpox, etc.), explaining how each illness occurs and affects the body.

Update: After skimming through it I decided to actually buy it! I really like the breadth of information and the various remedies that are presented. I'm confident it will be a good resource to have around for all of us.]]> 5 0 false false Sun Dec 02 11:11:27 -0800 2007 Tue Jan 01 07:45:06 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Mon Aug 25 10:03:39 -0700 2008 Tue Sep 16 10:19:27 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Fri Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1999 Thu Aug 28 16:50:31 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 16:50:31 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Sun Mar 30 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 19:23:10 -0700 2008 Thu Apr 03 19:24:00 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 1996 Fri Mar 07 21:59:40 -0800 2008 Fri Mar 07 22:03:40 -0800 2008 5 0 false false Wed Sep 24 15:50:42 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 24 15:51:25 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Mar 11 08:13:56 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 11 08:14:44 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2001 Wed Feb 27 11:01:06 -0800 2008 Thu Feb 28 18:45:59 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=168361
